I had a look at my /etc/freevo/local_conf.py, but I can't seem to find
the appropriate option! I am sure I have tweaked this before. The option
XINE_VO_DEV is how you set it for xine....
Oh thats right, I have a /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file. Inside it, I
specifiy the output by :
vo=sdl
Apart from comments, that's all that's in that file. I don't have a
clear understanding of which video out device is best, I am using opengl
for xine and sdl for mplayer. I wouldn't be surprised if the sdl
librarys were using opengl....
I use debian, so it that file may be different, maybe its
~/.mplayer/config (which I also have, but its empty)
I am positive you can specify it in local_conf.py, like :
MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd' : '-cache 8192 -fs -screenw 1024 -screenh 768
-vo sdl',
'avi' : '-cache 5000 -idx -fs -screenw 1024 -screenh
768 -autosync 1 -vo opengl',
'rm' : '-cache 5000 -fs -screenw 1024 -screenh 768
-vo x11'
}
Best of luck :)

Thanks for the help..
I didn't see anything in the logs, but discovered the info about
turning on debug on:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/TroubleShooting
which then output the mplayer command to the console
after playing with the options it turns out it was specifying:
'-autosync' '100' '-nolirc' '-autoq' '100' '-screenw' '800' '-screenh'
'600' '-fs' '-slave' '-ao' 'oss:/dev/dsp' '-v' '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,'
'-cache' '5000' '//data/Video/GONE_IN_60_SECONDS.ISO' '-vf' 'pp=de'
and the problem appears to be the '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,' Changing this
when manually running the command to -vo x11 seemed to solve the
problem... now I just need to figure out how to make freevo specify
this correctly.
I tried using xine but no luck with that either, it was trying to play
my .iso file as a video file and failing! I found the right command
line option needed on the web haven't worked out how to feed that into
freevo yet either ;)
But as my dvd's are ripped to ISO without menus - either player will
do, and I was closer to getting mplayer working

Have a look in the freevo logs, there you will see the command line

The logs are in /tmp/freevo
In my main-1000.log file, I have entries such as :

---- BORING LOG FILE ENTRIES ----
You want to try to run the command line part by hand, and start to
take arguments out until it works. The line that starts with
"ChildApp.__init__(),", copy the part after "app=/usr/bin/". So you
would try to run something like :
---- Command Line Example ----
mplayer -slave -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 1024
-screenh 768 -fs -vo null -ao oss:/dev/dsp -demuxer 17
/freevo-links/F-mp3/System of a Down/System_Of_A_Down-Hypnotize
BETTER QUALITY
_(Retail)-2005-XXL/09-system_of_a_down-vicinity_of_obscenity.mp3 -af
export=/tmp/mpav, poll=-1
---- Command Line Example ----
You may want to start out by removing the "-slave" and "-nolirc"
options straight off.
The above example is playing an mp3, but the process is the same.
Also, there should be other log files in there : mplayer-stderr.log
and mplayer-stdout.log. They may also hold the answer....
I have switched to xine for DVD's, because it supports dvd menus etc....

I've finally sorted out a way to archive my DVD's in a way that I am
happy with but when I come to play them, nothing happens.
mplayer works fine on the command line, but launching from freevo
just gives me a black screen and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas?
Steve.

Named after its country of origin 'England', English is a little known dialect
used by up to 1.5 billion non-Americans worldwide. Some interesting but
obviously incorrect features of the language include:
- queues of people
- wonderful coloUrs
- the useful metal aluminIum
- the exotic herbs (h-urbs), basil (ba-zil) and oregano (o-re-gaa-no)
- specialiSed books called 'dictionaries' that tell you how to spell words
correctly
Many people using this bizarre gutter speak also subscribe to the pagan belief
that water freezes at 0 degrees and that distances should be measured in the
forbidden mathematical system of base-10...
